As the search continues for the passenger jet which disappeared yesterday in the Mediterranean, the pilot's cousin has spoken about the distress that has been caused.

Sixty-six people were on the plane which was piloted by Mohammed Shoukair who had more than six-thousand hours of flying experience.

His cousin, Samir, tells the 麻豆社's Middle East correspondent, Kevin Connolly, that all the family can do is pray.
